Transurethral resection of prostate: technical progress and clinical experience using the bipolar Gyrus plasmakinetic tissue management system

Background The efficacy and safety of a new transurethral endoscopic device using bipolar electrocautery, the Gyrus system, were evaluated. This system permits rapid prostate tissue removal by endoscopic vaporization with little bleeding using saline irrigation, therefore eliminating transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) syndrome.
